| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to identify keywords, countries/regions, institutions, publications, authors, and journals associated with the diverse therapeutic properties of VCO. Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) serves as a safe herbal anti-inflammatory agent derived from natural constituents. The antioxidant properties of VCO can inhibit inflammation by averting cellular damage and obstructing the oxidative processes that generate free radicals. Using extensive bibliometric analysis, data and related information extracted from the Scopus database were subjected to bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer and the Biblioshiny R Package. A total of 323 Scopus articles satisfied the requirements for analysis. The findings indicated that the most substantial growth in the study transpired in 2013. Indonesia emerged as the most prolific nation in this research domain, with Silalahi, J., and Fumarewa, A. C. being the foremost contributors to the publication of research articles. The highest number of journal citations, totaling 227, was garnered by Mariana A.M., Che Man Y.B., and Amin. I. The bibliometric data further demonstrates potential therapeutic effects of VCO, encompassing antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties that may inform future study in this domain. | ||
